"Film is not dead"
"Film is Not Dead" That is what some avid photographers of film are saying today. I am here to show that they are right. Film is definitely not dead. In fact, film is on the rise to this very day. There are three reasons why it is on the rise today; the look of the film, how easy it is, and its ability to teach one how to become a better photographer. First of the look of film is very unique. Of course, digital has its clarity, but film has this randomness that makes it fun to see how the pictures will turn out. Without warning, you could get multiple different effects in one picture that you could possibly accomplish through digital, but it would take much more time. Next is is very easy to become a film photography. All you need is film, a film camera, and either some chemicals to develop the pictures or have the ability to send them somewhere to get developed. Lastly, film has the best ability to teach one to become a better photographer through trial and error. It could take multiple tries to get the perfect film, but through that process you are able to learn how to change your f-stop and also learn which type of film is the best for you.
Overall, the saying "Film is Not Dead" is very true. With the experiences you, as either new photographer or an experienced one, go through taking film, you can become better at the practice you love. As you practice more a more with film, you learn new things and experiences new settings and surroundings that can help you. Also, film has aspects digital sometimes can not provide. Film takes you back in time, where people did not have color tv. It gives you a chance to get a taste of what it is like back in the olden days. All in all, film is not only alive, but it is thriving and will continue to grow into the coming future.

How to achieve bokeh
The biggest key to shooting Bokeh is obtaining a high speed lens. You then want to set it on a high aperature and a very short shutter speed. This will allow you to achieve the focused object with a blurry background. A good, high aperture setting is something like f1/4 or f1/8. Doing this will also give you a better depth of field. Next, try to get close to your subject and focus on it. Then, make sure the background that you want blurred out, such as the sky and other light bulb in this picture, is far from the subject. This will give it the natural blur and it will be easier for the Bokeh. Then just snap the picture and viola you have your Bokeh.
